C: Nucleus

Cytokinesis differs between animal and plant cells. In animal cells, the membrane pinches together to form a cleavage furrow. In plant cells, the membrane cannot pinch together because of the _________________. Instead, a ___________________ is laid down between the two nuclei. This structure develops into the new cell walls and cell membranes.

Cell wall/ Cell plate

Sister chromatids meet at the centromere / telomere, which looks pinched.

Centromere

Some organisms are called producers because they produce the source of chemical energy / light energy for themselves and for other organisms.

Chemosynthesis is a process by which some organisms use chemical energy / light energy instead of chemical energy / light energy to make energy-storing carbon-based molecules.

Chemical energy/ Light energy

The prefix chemo- means "chemical," and synthesis comes from a Greek word that means "to put together." Therefore, chemosynthesis means "to put together with chemicals." In chemosynthesis, ______________ energy is used to produce carbon-based ____________ that store energy.

Chemicals/ Molecules
